Disease-associated variants in the human genome are continually being identified using DNA sequencing technologies that are especially effective for Mendelian disorders. Here we sequenced whole genome to high coverage (>30×) of 6 members of a 7-generation family with dwarfism from a consanguineous tribe in Pakistan to determine the causal variant(s). We identified a missense variant rs111033552 (c.2011T>C [p.Ser671Pro]) located in COL10A1 (encodes the alpha chain of type X collagen) as the most ...[more]
